Relationship between %Inactive, %Obese, %Diabetic using Pearson correlation:
Pearson Correlation Coefficient between % INACTIVE and % OBESE: 0.47265609987121526
- The positive sign of the correlation coefficient (0.4727) indicates a positive linear relationship between the two variables, % INACTIVE and % OBESE. This means that as one variable increases, the other tends to increase as well, and vice versa.
- The value of 0.4727 suggests a moderate positive correlation. It is not extremely close to 1, which would indicate a perfect positive linear relationship, nor is it close to 0, which would suggest no linear relationship. Instead, it falls in the range between 0 and 1, indicating a moderate strength of association.
- This positive correlation suggests that regions or data points with higher percentages of physical inactivity (% INACTIVE) tend to also have higher percentages of obesity (% OBESE). Conversely, regions with lower physical inactivity percentages tend to have lower obesity percentages.
- Pearson Correlation Coefficient of approximately 0.4727 between % INACTIVE and % OBESE indicates a moderate positive linear relationship between physical inactivity and obesity
